2010 in film
2010 in film saw a big push for 3D after Avatar’s success, with movies like Alice in Wonderland, Clash of the Titans, Jackass 3D, Megamind, and many others released in 3D. 20th Century Fox and Republic Pictures both marked their 75th anniversaries.
Richard Brody of The New Yorker talked about the year’s best movies, saying it felt like a new cinematic golden age in some ways. He noted that Hollywood could still be bold with its big resources, and independent filmmakers were gaining ground with personal, inventive work. He pointed to a rise in independent cinema, more arthouse theaters, and easier access to classics on DVD and Netflix, which helped intimate, powerful films reach more people. The Internet also helped spread independent styles to the mainstream in positive ways.
The article also mentions the top 10 films of 2010 by worldwide gross and notes major festival prizes: the Palme d’Or at Cannes, the Golden Lion at Venice, and the Golden Bear at Berlin.
